RT-AC68U, Merlin 378.56_2, Wrong clock behavior after factory reset.

[MarkRH]

The ASUS firmware also does this. After doing a Factory Reset, then setting the Timezone correct, not everything seems to be on the same clock. I turned on my blu-ray player and the System Log shows:

Nov  2 18:04:12 httpd: start httpd

Nov  3 00:07:39 dnsmasq-dhcp[442]: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.1.191 (removed)

Notice how it thinks it connected on Nov 3rd like it's on UTC time. This also cause the daily traffic monitor to be thrown off as well. Doing the Date command via SSH shows the correct date.

@RT-AC68U-4D50:/tmp/home/root# date
Mon Nov  2 18:08:02 UTC 2015

Although, not sure if UTC is really correct. How would I make it be CST?

You must also configure the start/end time of DST, on the same page where you configured the timezone.

 

[MarkRH]

I did that when I set the Timezone because it though I was in Mountain time and not Central. Turned the blu-ray player on after I did that.

Changing the timezone might possibly not take full effect until reboot, as the router doesn't restart every single service when you change the timezone. The syslog server for instance might not get updated to the new timezone.

Yeah after Reboot all the clocks seem to match.
